Spatialization and Temporalization (Revised)

While Space and Time are typically treated as given, they are products of the processes Spatialization and Temporalization, respectively. The former can be observed in the issuing forth from a posited intention the motion which attempts to execute it. The latter can be observed in the arrival at an awareness of one's situation. In other words, Spatialization originates in a Now, while Temporalization terminates in a Here, an analysis which revises one offered here a while ago, but which does not alter the more general thesis that the interplay of Spatialization and Temporalization constitutes the fundamental pattern of Experience. The revision makes their interplay more explicit--the fundamental complicity between a Now and Space, and between Time and a Here. It also leaves intact the thesis that the 'Future' is not a basic dimension of Time, but is an abstraction from Space. Such a thesis, of course, is at odds with both conventional wisdom and Philosophical tradition. But, by showing that what issues forth from a Now is Space, it explains a plain fact of experience that no other system can seem to accommodate--that there is never any evidence of the existence of 'the Future', i. e. projections, anticipations, etc. are never more than already given data, while what is incipient in any Now is, rather, Spatialization. Some of the implications of this thesis, especially the challenge that it presents to Heidegger's Future-oriented concept of Experience, have already been discussed.
